New Orleans police found a man with gunshot wounds early Thursday in the 2600 block of St. Claude Avenue.

FOX 8, citing officers, reported that NOPD was notified around 12:52 a.m. on Nov. 12. The station said no further information was available when it published.

A separate account from WWL placed gunfire around 4 a.m. and said the call came from Lizardi Street and Saint Claude Avenue. Those details differ from FOX 8's notification time and block location, and the two reports do not settle whether they describe the same shooting.

Senior Public Information Officer Aaron Looney told WWL by email, "Initial reports show a male gunshot wound victim has been transported from the scene via EMS." He did not give the man's condition.

WWL also reported an initial police account in which a suspect approached the man, took his gun, and fired into the vehicle as he tried to leave, striking him in the body. Neither published account named the victim or reported an arrest.
